When should I send out my save the date cards? 

It is useful to send your save the date cards out at least 6 months before the wedding. You may want to send out your cards even earlier if you are hosting a destination wedding or getting married during a peak season. It is important to give your guests as much notice as possible so that they have no excuse not to make it on the day! Sending your save the date cards out early will allow your guests plenty of time to book their weekend off and to organise transport, allowing them to grab those bargain flights! Take a look at our wedding stationery timeline for more information. You may also like to check out our wedding checklist to help you start off your wedding planning! Remember that we are here to help you from save the dates all the way up to your wedding photo album and beyond.

What should I write on my save the dates?

You don’t need to give away all the details at this point, and simply need to let your guests know the date and the vague location (i.e. the town or region) of your wedding! Unless of course, you are planning a destination wedding at which point you will need to let your guests know about any flight or accommodation arrangements they will need to make.

How much are save the date cards?

The price of our save the date cards depends on how many you order and the paper and envelope types that you choose. You can use the price calculator on the product page of your preferred design to work out how much your save the date cards will cost.

Which photo should I add to my save the date cards?

Photos from your engagement shoot or practice shots with your wedding photographer are perfect for save the date cards.

There are also some more technical aspects to keep in mind:
